Pseudomoduli Dark Matter
David Shih
We point out that pseudomoduli -- tree-level flat directions that often accompany dynamical supersymmetry breaking -- can be natural candidates for TeV-scale dark matter in models…
Notes on SUSY and R-Symmetry Breaking in Wess-Zumino Models
Zohar Komargodski, David Shih
We study aspects of Wess-Zumino models related to SUSY and R-symmetry breaking at tree-level. We present a recipe for constructing a wide class of tree-level SUSY and R-breaking mo…
Surveying Pseudomoduli: the Good, the Bad and the Incalculable
Kenneth Intriligator, David Shih, Matthew Sudano
We classify possible types of pseudomoduli which arise when supersymmetry is dynamically broken in infrared-free low-energy theories. We show that, even if the pseudomoduli potenti…
General Gauge Mediation
Patrick Meade, Nathan Seiberg, David Shih
We give a general definition of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking which encompasses all the known gauge mediation models. In particular, it includes both models with messengers…
(Extra)Ordinary Gauge Mediation
Clifford Cheung, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, David Shih
We study models of "(extra)ordinary gauge mediation," which consist of taking ordinary gauge mediation and extending the messenger superpotential to include all renormalizable coup…
Supersymmetry Breaking, R-Symmetry Breaking and Metastable Vacua
Kenneth Intriligator, Nathan Seiberg, David Shih
Models of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking generically have an R-symmetry, which is problematic for obtaining gaugino masses and avoiding light R-axions. The situation is improve…
